Main research interests

Obscured AGNs, AGN host galaxies, black holes-galaxy co-evolution, Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium, obscured supernovae, metallicity evolution of galaxies and AGNs,  dust evolution, early galaxies and QSOs at the re-ionization epoch.

Some of the current projects

• JWST. I am part of the Instrument Science Team of NIRSpec, the near-IR spectrometer for the James Webb Space Telescope.
• AMAZE. I am the Principal Investigator of the ESO Large Programme AMAZE, aimed at investigating the evolution mass-metallicity relation at high redshift.
• WHIM. I am part on an international collaboration aimed at detecting the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium in emission and in absorption toward Large Scale Structures.
• PACS. I am Co-Investigator of the PACS extragalactic survey program (PEP), within the PACS GTO program of the Herschel Space Observatory.
• GIANO. I am Instrument Scientist of the high resolution near-IR spectrometer GIANO for the TNG telescope.
• E-ELT. I am Instrument Scientist of the high resolution near-IR spectrometer SIMPLE for the European Extremely Large Telescope.
• ELIXIR. I am the coordinator of the Italian node of the FP7 European Network ELIXIR, aimed at training stundents and young researchers to the future use of JWST. NOTE: seven PhD fellowships (3-years) are currently open.
